A Message to an Ant
lyrics/music by Edie Marshall


Don't walk on me,
I'll carry you to places far away from home,
far from everything you've known.
I'll keep you fed,
but there's only so much eating you can do.
Stick to the trees, the flowers,
the roots in the mud,
carry the picnic home where you'll always be needed,
where you'll always be needed,
where you'll always be...
